I recently shot an assignment for the NYTimes Weekend Arts section, about a new exhibit at the Holocaust Museum and their 20th anniversary. It's always fun to work for the Arts section, they also do a great job with the layout in print (clip below).

One of the United States' top distance runners, Serena Burla had a cancerous tumor removed from her hamstrings three years ago. Doctors predicted she would never run again. She ran the New York Marathon only eight months after her surgery and is scheduled to run this year's Boston Marathon. She lives in Fall Church, VA and I photographed her during a training session for a feature the Boston Globe was doing on her prior to the race.

President Obama was joined by Vice President Biden, Gabby Giffords, and family members from the Newtown shootings as he spoke after Congress failed to pass legislation that would have expanded background checks for gun buyers.
